Appliance Loose or Detached
Expanders and habit appliances are designed to stay securely in place — but if one becomes loose, falls off, or is lost entirely, it’s important to address the issue to avoid disrupting your treatment.

✔ Yes, this is a true emergency
A detached appliance is considered an orthodontic emergency. These appliances are essential to treatment, and without them, progress can stall — or even reverse, making prompt care important. Bring the appliance to your appointment so it can be repaired or replaced as needed.
Book Emergency Visit
This is an emergency and requires an urgent appointment. If the appliance has completely fallen off, do not throw it away — bring it with you to your visit so it can be evaluated or repaired.
